Will Apple own up to manufacturing
problems with 15" Powerbooks?
Will Apple own up to manufacturing
problems with 15" Powerbooks?
05/03/2004 01:38 PMThere's an enormous thread of PowerBook G4 15" owners on Apple's
discussion boards, going into detail on the "white spots" and "uneven
illumination" problem with this model. I bought mine last fall, and
had to return it twice (first one was DOA, the second had the
white-spots so bad that strangers on airplanes would come up to me
and say, "Jesus Christ, what the hell is wrong with your screen?").
Now I'm on my
third unit, and it's got the same problem:
screen at about 50 percent brightness, big white splotch in the middle
of the it.
It's still under warranty, but that doesn't do me any good: There's no
way I can part with my machine for 3-7 days while Apple fixes
it. Normally, I own two PowerBooks, the current one and a slightly
older one (so that I have a working unit during repairs), but when I
moved to Europe, I divested myself of all but a single CPU, so now I'm
pretty scr0d.
The scoop appears to be that Apple is replacing these lemons with the
new 1.5GHz models (which may or may not have the same problem), but I
doubt that they'll ship me the replacement, let me transfer my data
and then send back the old 'un. I'm just going to have to work off the
world's shittiest display until I can scrape up the dough to buy
another machine. Bummer.
Recently it has worsened to the point where I took it in today to the
Apple store in Old Orchard. The attending Genius immediately noticed
the uneven illumination of my display and suggested that it be sent in
to the depot for repair. He also mentioned that this was the first
time he had ever seen or heard of this problem before, and that there
are no reports in the knowledge base that described this issue. When I
mentioned to him that he might take a look at this thread in the Apple
Support discussions, he wanted no part of it. He said that he rarely
reads these forums, and dismissed it as "Oh well, people posting to
discussion groups are mostly complainers" (those were not his exact
words, but it was implied). Then I told him that people are posting
actual photos of this problem and that all of the symptoms look
identical for each person, which could indicate a manufacturing
defect. His response was that "for those people, I suppose perception
is reality".

Telesym Shuts Down
Telesym Shuts Down
04/16/2005 09:36 AM Voice over IP in the enterprise company winds down: Five short weeks
ago, I was over at Telesym's bustling headquarters east of Seattle
having a great conversation recorded partly in this podcast about
Telesym's latest products and the tweaks they had made to their
offering to better integrate it into enterprise phone switches. Now
the Seattle Post-Intelligencer reports that the company has laid off
most employees with severance packages and hopes to return some
capital to investors if it can sell its intellectual property. The CEO
says fairly bluntly that their product doesn't scale, so I'm not sure
how encouraging that would be to potential buyers. The company's two
co-founders were pushed out in previous months, and they're a little
bitter about how the products developed without their shepherding them
to completion. One of their competitors, Vocera, says the company
floundered by not having a sharp focus and by--at least
initially--targeting voice over PDAs. This disregards the success that
phone/PDA combos have had in the marketplace, of course, but the
company was too far ahead of that market. They were also too far ahead
of convergence phones that would have benefitted from their
integration on the enterprise and Wi-Fi side while roaming onto
cellular as necessary. My kiss of death interview record is
unfortunately quite good: I interviewed the CEO of Cometa just weeks
before they coasted to a halt....
Ensemble Shuts Down
Ensemble Shuts Down
04/20/2004 11:29 AMAmerica's Network reports that sources say Ensemble has closed its
doors: Ensemble has long been active in the fixed broadband wireless
space. One analyst in this story suggests that the development of the
802.16 standard challenges companies that have proprietary or legacy
fixed wireless gear. However, Ensemble built LMDS equipment and the
LMDS spectrum has largely been used to deliver high-speed Internet
access to businesses, usually in a downtown area. That's a slightly
different market than WiMax will likely serve. Also, WiMax gear isn't
out there yet so it's hard to say that competition from WiMax put the
squeeze on Ensemble. It's tough to make the argument that WiMax will
challenge vendors that have proprietary gear because many of the
vendors pursuing WiMax had proprietary solutions. But they've chosen
to evolve in an effort to meet the requirements of 802.16. It's not a
great business plan to decide to continue down the path of proprietary
gear when a new widely supported standard is being developed that will
compete with your solution. It's unfortunate to see Ensemble go down,
although it seems that some executives jumped ship a while back so
perhaps they had a clue that something was amiss. In the LMDS heyday,
Ensemble was considered a leader in the industry and one focused on
innovative technology....
SuprNova Shuts Down
SuprNova Shuts Down
12/22/2004 01:03 AMA few weeks ago I got hooked on the ABC series
"Lost". Of course that happened after the season was well under
way, which has led to a secondary addiction to BitTorrent sharing so that I could
catch the episodes I'd missed.
Yesterday, SuprNova shut
things down — seemingly for good — which shut down access
to the site where I had been getting the torrent links for the "Lost"
episodes I had missed. That put me into severe withdrawl because there
are several episodes I haven't seen.
Last week The Register
published an excellent analysis of how widespread this bittorrent
addiction is; torrents account for a full 35% of Internet traffic. But
as we all know, success like that can quickly turn sour, as sites like
SuprNova face mounting legal pressure to put a stop to illegal file
sharing. We've talked about the propriety of BitTorrent and TV shows a
co
uple of times already, and to me it seems to me that pulling down a
torrent file of a show that I could've taped should be ok. But from
some of the other torrent listings I've seen while looking for the
"Lost" episodes there are lots of people on the Naughty List for
sharing a lot of content that hadn't ought to be shared.
I have found other feed listings for "Lost", so I think there is
hope for now. But if torrenting gets shut down for good, what's a poor
junkie like me to do?
